One of my pet peeves is the atrocious spelling that I see so frequently. It's so bad, that I just can never allow myself to get bent out of shape over it.
In my early grade school grades, I'd find myself in a spelling bee, and also found myself hanging on until the last, some times. I had found something I could excel in, so I followed it quite a ways up. I don't think that I ever went to any finals, but the teacher never failed to show her delight for my talent. So, that is the basis for my attitudes. Today, I find myself writing articles for a collector car magazine, as well as articles for one of the Phono society mags, now. A few years ago, I was at an alumni reunion. It's an enginnering college, and one of the faculty happened to see my name on my car, and recognized it. He was from the English department and had seen one of my articles. We had a very pleasant chat, down n town, at my car (It was a Classic Car tour).I told him that, had I ever been told while I was there in school, in composition courses, that I'd be writing magazine articles some day, I'd never been able to believe it...but here I am! . > [Original Message] > From: DeeDee Blais <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 1/12/2011 10:04:05 PM > Subject: [Phono-L] Spelling Errors > > I sent in a rather lengthy post about the importance of provenance and spelled > it incorrectly.
